Ubiquitous 3D
A decade ago 3D graphics moved from dedicated and expensive engineering graphics workstations to normal PCs. Sophisticated graphics was now accessible to a much larger audience and developer pool than before. A similar revolution is happening right now as mobile devices such as PDAs and cellular phones have their own standard 3D APIs, high-quality color displays, and even hardware acceleration is starting to become available.
This talk will cover the graphics capabilities of modern mobile devices, their limitations, and graphics APIs designed for these devices. We will also discuss what is unique with mobile graphics compared to desktop graphics.

Attraction and Projection
Point-set surfaces can be characterized by the "projection" operators which are used to bring nearby points onto the surfaces, and by the properties of the surfaces themselves. We will survey some point-set surfaces and review some recent results. On the way we will point out the close connections to other problems such as normal estimation and segmentation.
